Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances across Friday and Saturday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Wyatt Stanko Delivers Best Effort of Season
Wyatt Stanko produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Simla to the win on Saturday. Stanko rushed for 136 yards and four touchdowns on only nine carries, and also picked up 59 receiving yards and a touchdown, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
This season, Stanko has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 52.8 receiving yards per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had one rushing touchdown. This year he is already up to five.

Ethan Tesman Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Ethan Tesman was a major factor in Elbert's win over St. Mary on Friday. Tesman was excellent, rushing for 183 yards and four touchdowns on only 14 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (110.2). He was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 64 yards.
For the year, Tesman has thrown 8 touchdowns while averaging 142 passing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after five games last season, he was only averaging four rushing yards per game.
